Actually, it’s much more likely that the locals will switch to English the second they notice you’re not a native French speaker. And that makes Montreal one of the worst place for French immersion purposes.

But if you are considering McGill’s Honours French lit program, then you should check whether you can apply for Quebec tuition (dirt cheap), because differential tuition (between in province/out of province/international) in Quebec actually has a lot of exceptions that people may not know about, one of them being that taking an approved program in French language/Quebec culture allows you to get an exemption from international tuition (caveat: even if you are in such a program, you have to seek and fill out a form, it’s not done automatically, plus there might be a limited number exemptions available).
